<div dir="ltr"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:15.6933px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Evening everyone! As we are starting to emerge from the plague we wanted to introduce a couple of competitive playing options for the Spring. For starters we will have the end of month tournament next Thursday 3/25 @ Carpool Bar and Saturday 3/27 at MSB. I am pleased to report that these events will kick off the next Super Series! </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:15.6933px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Edan will also be sending out the details for a "timed event" that will take place between the locations as well. All events can be played individually and some will build points toward a playoff with sponsored prizes from your favorite pinball companies. If WPPRS come back online we will award those as well...</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:15.6933px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Super series Format:</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:15.6933px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">The schedule will consist of 6 individual events and one finals event. Points will be awarded for each individual event based on the number of players that attend the event. At the end of the season the top half players with the most points will be invited to attend the playoff event. Brackelope will be used for the individual events with a 3X Balanced Swiss format. The finals format will be officially published after week 5. PAPA format as that worked well last time. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:15.6933px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Points: </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:15.6933px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">To assure some balance in scoring the events with an unknown number of participants a minimum floor of points for winners and losers will be established. Winners will score <b>no less than 10 points and losers will score no less than 4 points</b>. People that miss an event will be awarded <b>2 base points</b>. Also, if a winning player has remaining unused strikes those will count for bonus points(e.g. 10 players, 10 points to the winner + 2 points for unspent strikes or 12 points total). A weekly summary of the individual events and aggregate leader board will be published(I fully expect Edan and Austin to crush us all again!) . </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:15.6933px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Cost: $5 per player per event. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:15.6933px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Standard COVID protocols will be in place and players will be expected to wear a mask, even if you have been vaccinated.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:15.6933px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Schedule:</p><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="346" style="border-collapse:collapse;width:260pt">
